A CLASS APART - Re-Broadcast on PBS March 21st 2011 (check local listings)

A CLASS APART
Producer/Director: Carlos Sandoval
Co-Producer: Peter Miller
Genre: Documentary
Length: 1 Episode/60 Minutes

A CLASS APART tells the little known story of how a band of underdog Mexican-American lawyers take their case, Hernandez v. Texas, all the way to the Supreme Court and win the first decision to begin dismantling Jim Crow issued two weeks before Brown v. Board of Education. This one-hour historical documentary is more than the story of a case it's the story of a people. It uses the Hernandez case as a through-line to shed light on the under-reported history of systematic discrimination faced by Mexican-Americans in the Southwest, their early civil rights struggle, and to explore cutting-edge issues of racial politics and identity among Latinos.
